I think you have to not have multiple LLVM/Clang installations,
unfortunately. That's what the bug indicates.

I am not having issues with KDevelop with Clang support and I have
everything on the latest version:

LLVM 6.0.1-r1
Clang 6.0.1
KDevelop 5.2.3 gdbui hex plasma qmake welcomepage
kDevelop-php 5.2.3
kdevelop-python 5.2.3

I would just ensure everything is built against one version of
Clang/LLVM and get rid of the other versions from the machine.

If you really don't need the Clang features (if you are using KDevelop
for non-C/C++), you can disable it at runtime:

/usr/bin/env KDEV_DISABLE_PLUGINS=kdevclangsupport kdevelop %u

I have this is in my menu because KDevelop gets dumb with QML JS vs
JavaScript for me, making KDevelop nearly impossible to use with Node projec
